Today Is A Watershed Game For Newcastle

Newcastle are currently 2 points ahead of Brighton and 6 points ahead of third placed Norwich, before the game at Leeds United today.

And there are some changes at the top of the Championship table this weekend with Norwich now having lost their last four league games and Huddersfield having lost four of their last 6 league games.

So at least two clubs seem to be feeling the pressure of staying in the running at the top of the table.

Garry Monk – Leeds United manager Newcastle have won their last seven league games and eight in all competitions.

After Leeds in the league today we meet a number of clubs at the lower end of the table and of course we have that EFL Cup 5th round tie coming up at Hull City, who were well beaten 3-0 yesterday at Sunderland.

A win today would be a body blow to the rest of the division. 9 points clear of third place is a huge gap, especially the way we are playing. The other clubs may focus in on their own mini battles in the league and forget about us .

This myth of us buying the league, unfair financial advantage etc – I love opposition using that excuse when we beat teams / keep winning. Helps us in the psychological side – the feeling that everyone might as well run up the white flag and aim for 2nd.

Sing in the corner From a couple of streams back Sorry ducted away for a bit Would love to have atsu on too and yes be good to see gouff more central which I think is more natural to him . Only put Perez in there for his creativity . I would had diame in there but only reason I didn’t is I think Rafa may be getting him fired up to go back in against hull later in the week So nice to have all these options nowadays unlike last few years where we had so many playing out of position on in the treatment room

Sitc- the buying thing isn’t totally out of the way. Benitez was a decent investment. Maybe there’s a lesson in there. 🙂

Why are we treating Leeds like some huge tie? I can understand they will, but they aren’t much better than anyone else in the top eight of this league. Rafa won’t be going there to hold on for a point that’s for sure. 0-2.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
